  1. Not every river needs to reach the sea. 🌊

    When I first heard about the Okavango River in Africa, I wondered, “How can a river end in the desert?” 🏜️

    It begins high in the mountains of Angola 🇦🇴, winds through Namibia 🇳🇦, and flows deep into Botswana 🇧🇼. However, unlike most rivers, it never reaches the ocean. There’s no grand delta by the coast, no final rush into the waves. The Okavango simply disappears into the sands of the Kalahari Desert 🏜️.

    And yet, before it vanishes, it creates one of the greatest spectacles of life on Earth 🌍: the Okavango Delta. Between water and sand, a vast mosaic of channels, islands, and floodplains comes alive. Each year, when the rains arrive from distant highlands, the desert transforms into a paradise. Elephants roam through glistening waters. Lions stalk through the reeds. Fish eagles soar above papyrus-lined channels. All of it, right in the middle of a desert.

    When the flood recedes, life retreats and waits, ready to bloom again.

    The Okavango never reaches the sea, but it doesn’t need to. It’s a reminder that not every journey has to end where others expect it to. Sometimes, the greatest purpose is found right in the middle of the desert.

  7. @SatelliteSci @CopernicusEU wow that is super cool! It reminds me of this one I made on #SnapPlanet showing the flooding of the #OkavangoDelta on an annual cycle.

    Is your Australian example an annual cycle or just occasional?

  8. 📺 Merveilles d’Afrique : Le delta de l’Okavango 🇧🇼

    Cette vidéo de 43 minutes et à revoir en replay sur le site d'ARTE et sera rediffusé le 18 septembre à 8h00.

    👉 Le #fleuve Okavango. Né dans les #montagnes de l’ #Angola, le fleuve africain n’atteint jamais aucun #océan. Il termine sa course au nord du Botswana, au cœur du #désert du #Kalahari, qu’il irrigue sur 18 000 km².
